Silliness Noone, no-one, or no one?

vivaldirules · 10-31-2008, 11:32 AM

So, which do you prefer? Oh, look! Cute kitty pics!

zelda_pinwheel · 10-31-2008, 11:34 AM

i object to this poll, on the grounds that it is not multiple choice, because several answers apply and i cannot select all of them.

Noone is the lead singer of Herman's Hermits.

maybe "herman's hermits" should be an option.

As far as I know "no one" is the correct usage.

And .... awwwwwww, cute kittie pix!!

ShortNCuddlyAm · 10-31-2008, 12:02 PM

I definitely prefer cute kitty pics out of all of the choices

zelda_pinwheel · 10-31-2008, 12:05 PM

i think no one and no-one are both correct (according to dictionary.com) ; i prefer either of them to noone. but overall it's a very hard choice between the blue one next to the fish and cute kitteh pictures ; since tbonttf was not getting any love i voted for that one.

vivaldirules · 10-31-2008, 01:58 PM

I agree, zp - a mighty tough choice. But, I'm a real nowhere man (dog), so I think I'll pick......(spoiler alert!).......tbonttf, too.

There's another interesting word - nowhere. I'm sure most people stumble a wee bit as their minds momentarily read "now here". Oh, look! More cute kitteh pics!

I voted for more cute kitties! No one, no how, nowhere, nothing, can make me smile better than cute kitties!

Depends on which keys my fingers hit in which order, which can vary any given time I try to type it.

My sixth grade teacher told us that nowhere started out as no where, morphed to no-where and on to nowhere. She also said that eventually no one would become no-one and thence to noone. This as a lesson in the flexibility of the English language.

She also said, "In the mean time, it's no one, ya little maggots!"

She was a tough teacher.

I sure hope the owner of that food dish is a careful & delicate eater, or goodbye kitty!

Or is the kitty just making a vulgar suggestion?

It's just a little something I found in the back of my closet.
